This unit is designed to approach the AQA GCSE Paper 2 in an original way. It is a journalism unit that teaches the reading and writing skills the students need for Paper 2 without getting bogged down in past papers. It comes fully resourced with articles, discussions, PowerPoints, exemplar answers, readings and reviews.
